Truck Accident Overview

Successfully Helping Michigan Truck
Accident Victims for More Than 25 Years

Trucking companies and their insurers will rarely provide accident victims with fair compensation without a fight. All too often, unfortunately, these companies have rapid accident response teams, which puts them at an immediate advantage over victims. For this reason alone, anyone who has been injured in a truck accident must be represented by experienced lawyers with proven track records of success in hard-fought litigation.

At the law firm of Bredell & Bredell, you'll find experienced attorneys who are committed to protecting the rights of people and families who have been harmed as the result of trucking accidents in Michigan. If you or a member of your family has been hurt or killed in a Michigan truck accident, we can provide the experience, skill and aggressive representation you need to level the playing field and obtain a just result.

Common Semi Truck Accident Causes

Most semi accidents are the inevitable result of the industry's relentless drive for more profits. This is typically seen in two ways. On one front, companies provide a financial incentive for drivers who deliver more shipments in as little time as possible. This leads to drivers skipping required rest and sleep breaks or trying to force their way through traffic by following other vehicles too closely. The second way that trucking companies try to increase profits is by cutting corners on safety. In real terms, this means poor truck maintenance, overloaded trucks and inadequately trained drivers.

Other examples include:

• Careless or reckless driving, typically involving factors such as driver fatigue, alcohol or drug use, inadequate training or delivery and pick-up deadlines
• Distracted driving, using cellphones or computers while driving
• Improper truck maintenance
• Improperly loaded cargo
• Unsecured cargo falling off trucks
• Negligent hiring, training or supervision of drivers
• Violations of local, state or federal trucking regulations
